I came to say exactly this. Color me unsurprised that this is the top comment. In what world is 16GB and a mobile i5 "developer orientated"? Makes my head spin.

I've always found the media coverage around this topic strange. You will hear almost nothing about it for months, then a huge wave of Unhappy Teachers articles, videos, news items, etc. will rise up, then it all evaporates away into no

I'm unfamiliar with the innards of the cubesat industry, but one question I have had for a while is are there any players out there offering CaaS (Cubesat as a Service)? E.g. A company sends up a bunch of cubesats, each with a variety

Good point, but I do wonder why that is. Less money seems to be available for all public spending these days. Where is it even going to? Social care?

Not to be too dismissing, but what are the odds that part of the impetus for this is to find something to use the SLS for? Apart from that, I really do wish that my (millenial) generation had our voyager, our pioneer, etc. Perseverance (w

Are you implying that, historically, journalists either 1) had some basic education in what they are reporting about, or 2) actually wanted to educate themselves in what they are reporting about, and that today, increasingly, journalists do

As sibling comment implies, constructing things physically can often have the "forever needing to be built upon" aspect just like software. The difference that you are probably feeling here, at least from what i can see, is that o

Nicely written, but I don't fully understand your logic here. The bricklayer's wall in your comparison is precisely analogous to an "update" a developer has to do. The work is not complete for a bricklayer nor a softwa

Use esbuild to transpile and bundle your typescript. It's 10-100x times faster. The only issue is that esbuild only removes the type-only part of typescript, and doesn't do the type- checking part.

Passing by Venus is lowering the spacecraft's periapsis, increasing the orbit's eccentricity. The lower the satellite goes, the faster it will be at periapsis. Those speeds the GP comment is refering to are, in all likelihood, vel

The point being that, IMHO, extensions over ESBuild tend to not improve the developer experience because they have a tendency to bloat and steer towards being "webpack but esbuild", which defeats the point of esbuild, being the &q

I have been using esbuild for a while, and I can say that it's looking like a huge improvement over webpack, snowpack, vite, etc. I made a web app starter that uses esbuild to bundle a react-redux app [0] and my experience was very pos

Surely the best countermeasure to worsening of the issue would be to advise people to place the xbox 360 horiztonally, no? This would mean no more stress. I'm intruiged as to why it would only work for eight months, why wasn't the

But that doesn't address the issue that there would be a legal way for companies to discriminate based on your wealth, regardless if they do it or not. "filter for applicants with a remote office" is virtually 1-to-1 with &qu

I can see how that can quite easily be viewed as gatekeeping. Having a "spare" room or a rented coworking space to use as a remote office is a luxury of the middle/upper class. I can see your logic, and I can see how it would

I agree with the library compatibility issues for typescript, I've felt that pain before, but it is getting better by the day with more adoption. I've always held the belief that the major flaw of Typescript was that it is precede

If you have more available time later, I would advise you read on if you have genuine curiosity about the subject. Not all articles are soundbites, or have to be. The SLS is certainly not a subject that is well-summarized by one either, giv
